I was wondering what r your plans and how has your progress been so far this winter. I also wanted to upload some pics because I am proud of my vert and wanted everyone to see her as she transforms into the beauty I envision.

I covered my tonneau with black ostrich but have now decided to remove the cover and have the fiberglass worked over and painted black chrome (same with the hood louvers). I am having the bottom of the door panels done with the ostrich and I am very soon to order the red carpet.

 

Black chrome on the louvers will look great.

My car is in the garage in a few dozen pieces. Tore out the interior and am fixing it up with some new parts, TLC, re-wiring, etc.

 

Since september I have been installing TPI injection with OBD2 electronics. Tuning that.

Sunday, I took the front half of the exhaust off, put headers on. Saturday I will get a y-pipe installed.


Next will be putting it up on ramps for a few weeks(sometime). Wire-wheeling and spraying the undercarriage with rust converter, prime, paint.

Minor crap
fix ebrake light, adjust cable
make speedo work from wire-redoing
relocate map sensor
install 85mm maf
find all size swaybars, and adjust handling
order spwire holders (possibly today).

 

Fixing stuff as needed, buy mostly looking for those few nice days every month to get it out on the road.
I drove mine Friday all day because I knew the snow was coming (got about 6-8 inches of snow overnight and into Saturday) but it will melt, hope to have it out again before Chirstmas.
I took this picture when I swapped the Convertible that lives on the drive way into the garage to thaw.
Gotta love living in the Mid West.

 

siting under a tarp up in the air with bags around the rotors getting new parts for her

 

I did the exact same thing... Knew the weather was going to get crappy, so I drove mine to work Friday too. It was the first I had it out in about 3 weeks. Unfortunately, they pre-treated the roads with the grine or whatever the hell they called it. Fortunately it didn't get the car too bad though. Fortunately the snow stayed north of us here in Columbus Oh though.

 

being driven by my husband daily since he is waiting for parts for his Corvette.

 

Mine is parked next to the other cars I don't drive in the winter. I'm still looking for front end parts. I have my work cut out for me this spring. Lots of body work to be done.

 

not to rub it in....78degrees and sunny here. had the top down and runnin

 

been in the 40s here & wet still driving weather lol.

 

sitting oustside in teh snow, as I avhe no other place to store my project ATM...needs pans, drivetrain...new interior...its just a shell

 

up until sunday here it was 80 degrees out, so ive been driving her!!


She'll probably remain a driver all through the winter honestly here.

Daily driving with new wheels.



I have a 3.27 nine bolt with PBR disks in the garage. I also have a new master cylinder, e-brake cable, and speedo gear to go with it.

 

Mines been socked away in the garage since mid october.It wont come out till april

 

Sitting under a cover in my grandma's basement garage (next door to my house). I'll be fixing some minor details over the winter like a sticking speedo needle that is hung up on my white faced gauges, and a few other small things like that. Sometime around my birthday in March I'll be taking out the transmission and sending it to an Fbody performance shop around here to have a T56 installed.

 

Mine's a daily driver so I'm cruising it all winter long. Snow or shine.

Cadillac, nice choice on the ZS's! They're 17's?

 

yea but you drive in the same wet windy weather my husband does in our vert lol.

 

Looks good with the C6 Rims. I'm torn if I want to get my current ones refinished or just get some new Rims. Thought about yanking the ZR1 Replica's off my Vette and throwing them on there to see how they look. What size spacers did you end up having to use.

I won't be lowering mine though. The license plate already scrapes occasionally where I have it mounted..... Damn front plate laws

 

17's. Indeed.

Some say I am a Sportline kit away from a perfect stance.

Rethinking daily driver with drag radials in a Norcal winter (rain!).

'91 Vert Represent!! (CA, WA, OH)

 

Same thing here.

 

I thought about putting my plate there but I don't think anyone would ever see it!

I'm using a 2" spacer in the front, which, IMO is a little small. I'd like to pick up a 2.25" now that I'm using the c6 wheels. They actually run slightly farther inward than my old c5's. The rears are with a 1" spacer on a 4thgen LT1-style axle.

I always liked the crosslace wheels but they were WAY too small for me. Not many wheels look good on the birds. I hate chrome.

 

I'd really like to find a set of black T/A lace wheels for my sister's 91 Formula. I think they'd really set it off nicely, more so than the stock salad shooter-ish looking wheels. I'd have to talk my dad into buying them for her though because she has no job!

 

+1

 

mine has been in the garage since mid november...right before the first snow storm...as i was rebuilding my truck...sometimes i wonder about my silverado. it sucks me of money worse than my camaro. but the camaro will be going under the knife..so to speak here in a month or less...got a 5 spped, posi rear and 355 to implant.

 

Resting

 

Mine is sitting in a heated garage inside a car capsule.

 

the 05 vette and 98 WS6 got the car capsule treatment, the vert is going through some tuning to fix and off idle-bog..so its in the front garage with the workshop.. now if I could only figure it out..

 

MINE IS SITTING IN STORAGE; AWAITING MY RETURN TO THE USA 6 MAR 08. PLENTY OF UPGRADE FORTHCOMING...

 

I hear you loud and clear on that one...my monthly payments on my Silverado are $159, and the insurance is $129 a month, and on top of that it gets about 13 mpg. My Camaro costs me literally $16 a month plus any gas I might use.

 

One and a half indoors and one in the driveway.

 

Mine's still pissed off I messed up a gear swap in October and haven't touched it since.

I was wondering what happened to you.

Bummer news. I'm sure it won't keep you down long, right?

 

Sitting outside here at work waiting for me to drive it on this unusually warm winter day.

 

Mines in hibernation, been there since the end of Sept.. It will come out late April or so

 

I actually drove mine with the top down on Monday and Tuesday!! It was in the high 60's with no rain here in Central Ohio..... Yes OHIO!!!

Of course we got some reality back today with the temps in the 40's

 

i was driven it in the winter this year (first year in snow) tell fuel pump went out so its in garage with my dads 69 impala sport coupe that hasnt been droven for 10 years

i wish he would let me take the beast out for a spin

 

Getting a ZZ383 installed, built 700R4 and a 96SS rear..oh yeah at least 2 new wheels as well. https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/engi...s-problem.html

 

Sleeping right now. Waiting for my tax return to buy a new Joengblood 3" cowl hood, LS1 brake swap components, and the necessary parts to finish off the interior.

 

This is my first year in Ohio and the weather is crazy, but I got the itch monday too so I just sat there with the garage up and let my imagination run wild

 

sitting in friends driveway with cover on it. unfortunately cant get the garage. I do stop buy once a week to start it up. cant afford 2 car insurance bills so it just sits till mid spring.

 

SLEEPING - ZZZZZZZZZZZ

 

Mine is getting a ls2 installed with a turbo and 350 trans and a new moser m6 rear built for fbody and a few other minor pieces installed

 

You guys have some nice rides!

Cadillac, Love the Zs's!Always been a fan of them!.

I drove mine last week twice with the 60 degree freak weather we were having. Other than that it's begging to get back to the track with new MT Radials to get a 9 second timeslip finally. No pics of the Corvette Sawblade rims I got for the street but those look pretty good. A nice change from the ZS's... More nitrous, new tires, Q16 fuel, front end repainted finally!... Pic from mid summer:

 

My Vert gets driven at least once a week year round. I've always suscribed to the old axiom that the worst thing you could do to a car was to just let it set up...

I live in South Georgia. It will be about 70deg on Saturday with a 30% chance of rain. I will probably take it out and go topless!

It gets hot as hell here in the summer but you can just about count on getting out and putting down the top at least a few days even in the winter...

Projects on the car - Tighten up the danged header bolts and finally put on the locks... Install door kit for both sides...

I need to find the paperwork but I will soon have owned my vert for SIX years! It sure doesn't seem to have been that long.

Speedy

 

will be doing auto to 6 speed then waiting for some good weather if anybody has any input on swap pm me

 

I actually just got a beater two weeks ago, and the TA was sitting under the car port eagarly awaiting a nice sunny day to go out. Here in CO its been snowing quite a bit, however last sunday it was in the mid 60's, so you can guess what the vert did.

I don't have a garage, but I like to have the TA available on any good sunny day, weather its winter or summer.

Just happy I got a beater, finaly (1992 mercury capri ) so I thought I share the info that my third gen vert is no longer a daily snow warrior.
